Island Exhibit Designs

GK-5149, GK-5150, and GK-5151 (RE-9093) Gravitee One-Step System

A well-designed, attractive, and practical island can be transformational for a company at a trade show. There's no better way to describe the re-configurable GK-5149, GK-5150, and GK-5051. The GK-5149 and GK-5150 20 x 20 islands maximize the available space with double-sided curved panels. The design includes monitors, meeting areas, optional pedestals, and large tension fabric graphics. In addition, the islands have multiple seating areas shown with rental furniture. All the curved panels are from the patented Gravitee System, so individual panels connect without tools and there are no loose parts or pieces. The (2) 20 x 20 islands connect seamlessly to create the larger 20 x 40 version.

Browse through the island and inline galleries where you'll see a wide range of options and prices. These are meant to generate ideas. There are no cookie cutter designs. We'll design the exhibit that matches your specific marketing goals and budget.

Want to see this island with your branding? No problem. Give us a call or send us an email.

Renting an island exhibit is the ideal choice in this situation. Renting is affordable, typically 30-40% of a purchase, and we have an extensive gallery of island and inline rental designs.

If you don’t see something you like, no problem. About 50 percent of our rentals are new designs or modifications of existing designs. If it makes sense for you, and it makes sense for us, then we’re happy to create a unique configuration that meets all your trade show marketing requirements. See all your options in the Rental Gallery.

Absolutely! When it comes to islands, it's rare that someone purchases a kit "as is." Nearly every island gets tweaked, or we start from scratch based on your requirements.

That's the fun part of this process: designing a display that makes your trade show program successful.

Give us a call or send us an email. We'll meet with you to review your trade show marketing requirements, including your budget. Then we'll work together to create an exhibit that maximizes your message and sales potential at your show.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Canopies and Ceilings
Canopies, including ceilings, umbrellas and canopy frames, can be either decorative or functional (such as to shade computer monitors from ambient light or for hanging products). Canopies for Linear or Perimeter Booths should comply with line-of-sight requirements.

The bottom of the canopy should not be lower than 7 ft. (2.13m) from the floor within 5 ft. (l.52m) of any aisle. Canopy supports should be no wider than three inches 3 in.(08m). This applies to any booth configuration that has a sight line restriction, such as a Linear Booth. Fire and safety regulations in many facilities strictly govern the use of canopies, ceilings, and other similar coverings. Check with the appropriate local agencies prior to determining specific exhibition rules.

Covered ceiling structures or enclosed rooms, including tents or canopies, shall have one smoke detector placed on the ceiling for every 900 square feet.

Hanging Signs and Graphics
Hanging signs and graphics are permitted upon approval in all standard Peninsula, Island and Split Island Booths, with a maximum height of sixteen feet (16 ft.)(4.87m) to the top of the sign as measured from the floor

Whether suspended from above or supported from below, they should comply with all ordinary use-of-space requirements (for example, the highest point of any sign may not exceed the maximum allowable height for the booth type). Double-sided hanging signs and graphics shall be set back ten feet (10 ft.)(3.05m) from adjacent booths and be directly over contracted space only.

Theatrical Truss and Lighting
Ceiling-supported theatrical truss and lighting are permitted in all standard Peninsula, Island and Spilt Island Booths to a maximum height of twenty feet (20 ft.)(6.1m) where ceiling permits. Ground-supported truss may not exceed the maximum allowable height for the booth type. Logos or graphics are not permitted over the sixteen-foot (l6fl)(4.87m) height restriction and must have four feet (4 ft.)(1.22m) of separation from the top of the sign to the top of the truss.

Exhibitors should adhere to the following suggested minimum guidelines when determining booth lighting:

No lighting, fixtures, lighting trusses or overhead lighting is allowed outside the boundaries of the exhibit space.

Exhibitors intending to use hanging light systems must submit drawings to NAMM for approval by the published deadline date.

Lighting must be directed to the inner confines of the booth space. Lighting must comply with facility rules.

Lighting which Is potentially harmful, such as lasers or ultraviolet lighting, should comply with facility rules and be approved in writing by exhibition management.

Lighting that spins, rotates, pulsates, and other specialized lighting effects should be in good taste and not interfere with neighboring Exhibitors or otherwise detract from the general atmosphere of the event.

Reduced lighting for theater areas should be approved by the exhibition organizer, the utility provider, and the exhibit facility.
